DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Workers at refineries crucial for Iran’s oil and natural gas production have protested over the death of a 22-year-old woman. That’s according to online videos posted Monday. The demonstrations at Abadan and Asaluyeh mark the first time the unrest surrounding the death of Mahsa Amini threatened Iran’s oil and gas industry. While it remains unclear if other workers will follow, the protests come as demonstrations rage on in cities, towns and villages across Iran. Early Monday, the sound of apparent gunshots and explosions echoed through the streets of a city in western Iran. Activists say security forces reportedly killed one man in a nearby village.
